The states of Washington and Oregon announced Wednesday the spring Chinook seasons for the mainstem Columbia River, and they are very similar to last year.

Anglers may fish for and keep hatchery Chinook from March 1 through April 7 from the Buoy 10 line at the mouth of the Columbia River up to the Bonneville Dam, except that the river is open to bank angling only from Beacon Rock to the Bonneville Dam deadline.
